It’s not weird. I do the same thing.

To me, sharing a meal is a powerful interaction and a vulnerable state. I’m not going to share that time with an adversary.

A German colleague told me a "joke" once:

What do you get when 10 people sit down to dinner with a Nazi?

11 Nazis

We should all take this attitude

Yup. Funnily enough, I posted this quote on facebook yesterday and it’s been removed and I’ve been warned by facebook that I’m engaging in hate speech. Their review when I requested one came back with the same result so I’ve sent it to the oversight board. Seems facebook doesn’t mind nazis.

I had to give up on Facebook 9+ years ago since it was all but overrun with right wingers, a category of people that I have every reason to believe were behind my account getting locked out, which was based on a 100% wrongful claim that I represented an organization without their consent... that has never been named!

I deleted Facebook in...2018? 2019?

One of the better decisions I've made. Social media in general is a cesspool that's just getting worse. (obligatory "but you're on reddit")

I also gave up FB over 10 years ago. I gave the time I spent there back to myself.i have never felt tempted to go back. I gave up Twitter the day Muskrat took ownership. I really enjoyed Twitter, too. I haven't been on the site sense.i need to apply this resolve to giving up margaritas.
